Day Pupils

At the heart of OBH is the boarding community, and pastoral care for both boarders and day pupils. The same range of activities and opportunities are available children and they are all encouraged to develop an interest

The school day operates as a boarding day ending at 5.50pm when day pupils go home and boarding pupils have supper. With the day ending at this time, all activities and prep have been completed by day pupils at school.

From September 2010, recognising that siblings who are day children might have different collection times during the week, the school will be introducing a more flexible system of pick-up.
